Key Quotes:
"It almost feels like we have gone through Alice's Looking Glass again."
"Previously countries would try to distinguish themselves from the crisis-stricken countries with claims, like "XXX is not Greece." Looking at the manufacturing PMI reports, some wag in Spain or Italy, may note that they are not Germany."
"Germany's PMI fell to 49.9 from 50.3 in the flash and 51.4 in August. Shocking."
"France saw its flash reading unchanged at 48.8. The two largest eurozone countries are below the 50 boom/bust level, though the PMI's signal of industrial output appears to have weakened."
